Title: Shadow of the Colossus : Help requests and Spoilers
Post by: GmanJoe on October 23, 2005, 07:44:24 AM
I\'m supposed to go on the third kill but I decided to explore a bit, thanks to the other thread.

I went into the forest, directly ahead of the temple. I found an old ruin and I shot and killed a lizard. The white tail was all that was left. I kneeled down to pick it up and the tail disapeared (with a sound as if I took it).

Anyone know what this thing does for me?

it increases your health and your strength...the ruins are save points, if you didn\'t know...onl the save temples have white-tailed lizards, but you can kill others and take their tails.

The white tails increase the duration of your grip.

Lol, i spend 2 hours figuring how to kill the 3rd boss, this guy knows how to hide his vital points very well.

I just killed the 3rd monster! I feel kinda bad seeing all that life force spraying out of that beast.

Took me a while to kill this one too. I was on his elbow at least 30 minutes. I tried to shoot at the glowing runes...coz the voice said something about brittle armor.

Well....now I know better. :D

#5 is a sweet one...if they keep getting more complicated in the approach, then this will be a fun game.... I kinda wish they included a "basic needs" function..... like there is so much space, make us hunt for food, and make camp type of shit...that would be sweet...

it does get more complicating..lets just say the monsters can kill better. im on the 8th guy.

Ugh!

STUPID...STUPID FLYING CHICKEN! Kept flapping its damn wings whilst I was trying to stab it to death! That\'s just rude!

Oh you\'ll rue the day!

And even after I killed it, the chicken still managed to flip me off! Even from the distance of its carcass....its tentacles still managed to reach me! Bastard!

Do the black tailed lizards, which are everywhere, give you stamina?

On the platform, there\'s a concrete circle for you to stand on. when he tries to clobber you, he\'ll hit this concrete and the impact will reverbarate up his weapon and crack his armor. One more hit on this concrete will break it off. Cimb up his arm at this time and get up his furry arm and KILL KILL KILL!


Oh.....here\'s the secret garden at the temple.

Hawk riding location, ok so this is the map.I choose this
coordinate because there are 3 hawks circling above.The more hawks,
the better the chance to fly.

Im going to attempt to land there.Pretty far by the way,i
stand on the highest point so that the flight duration will
be longer.

Before the flight, i place my camera looking backwards,the
hawk will fly low like a torpedo bomber.Anticipate it,
by jumping,then press grab(r1)

Finally, on the air,moving away from the cliff.

Looking downwards,woot... this is no time to let go of the grip.

Alas, 2 meters to touchdown.That was fun!

Man I loved this game. I hope the producers of this game keeps on going to the next generation.

[sp]I think this game is the prequel to ICO. When he turns into a baby he has horns like ICO did. And also it seems like the same girl [/sp]

I assume you\'ve all seen the Penny Arcade comic about Shadow Of The Colossus:

BTW:If you go to gametrailers.com and then to PAX you can see the event the penny arcade guys through together this year.It\'s like a mini E3.

Yeah I am. I didnt even know there were extras...
Title: Shadow of the Colossus : Help requests and Spoilers
Post by: GmanJoe on October 25, 2005, 11:06:44 AM
I think it\'s more like items that show you where the white tail lizards are on the map, fruits, a parachute type thing, fire arrows, deadlier swords....and invisibility.
Title: Shadow of the Colossus : Help requests and Spoilers
Post by: GmanJoe on October 27, 2005, 04:19:01 AM
Finally finished it. I\'m not sure coz I haven\'t gone back to the save point just before the final colossus, but I went to the last stage with Agro. The gaps didn\'t look that far away but I took the horse anyway and leaped over them.

This caused the bridge to collapse. Can I avoid this? I know I shot arrows at the horse to shoo it away...but I kinda felt bad seeing him fall. :( Poor donkey!

What was your favorite Colossus to take on?

For me, it was #13, the flying desert dragon. It\'s Indiana Jones meets "Never Ending Story" dragon!

Unic is a goat rapist. :p ;) I kiiiiid! [sp]I can\'t help but see this game as a prequel to Ico. The ending some compelling connections. A horned baby, a woman brought back to life by a shadow demon (who\'ll become the evil Shadow bitch Queen in Ico), longing for her two horned lover.... :p[/sp]

No, it was the queen. Ico was a great game. I mean...no mini-bosses...just one.  The journey to the end was an experience.

Agro on dragon back! :laughing:

I leaped on him and agro was just standing on the sand when the rest of the dragon came up from the sand and picked him up!

Ha ha , that was awesome Gman, can you ride agro on the dragon\'s back?, im currently fighting the canon blaster machine.Such intensity of firepower this monster possess to bombard me from miles away. I was atop of agro on the edge of the cliff miles away when his projectiles exploded beneath agro and he collapses to the ground but me however fall into the abyss.

Can\'t wait to get the Hapoon of Thunder;)

I made it up to the secret garden, got my stats all the way low but I died on the way down. :(

I was hoping to keep my stats really low before taking on #16. That way,when I turn into Dormin, I\'ll die from the cross bow shots. Wanna see what happens.
Title: Shadow of the Colossus : Help requests and Spoilers
Post by: Viper_Fujax on October 29, 2005, 10:34:44 PM
man..the third to last guy has easily been the most intense.

[sp]The idea was awesome. hopping around from pillar to pillar. On the last pillar i thought i was going to get pinned because i didnt know which way to run..and ur right next to the guy..i thought i did all that jumping for nothing. Then i somehow got on the platform and again i fall off the platform after he hits it and i get knocked out right next to him..somehow scamper to the ruble then the rest was getting on his back...jebus...[/sp]

Hope the file still exists.

Diagonal jumps use almost no stamina. Do not crawl except around corners.

There are fruits up there. But they lower both stamina and health.

so..do i have to play/beat ico for the ending to make any sense?

[sp]i get ico has the chick..and the little kid with the horns..and i read the village (dont get why thered be a village either) sent him away because of his horn, and the game is to live through the place that they sent u..but theres no connetion im seeing between the two games[/sp]
Title: Shadow of the Colossus : Help requests and Spoilers
Post by: Nu on November 09, 2005, 12:57:21 AM
Only connections to Ico are...

[sp]The horns, and the shadow creatures(which are, apparently, part of Dormin).[/sp]

There are also a few familiar symbols/structures, iirc.

They kind of let the players fill in the blanks whichever way they like. The Ueda interview at Eurogamers makes that much clear.

just finised the game last night..or more like early this morning..5:00 am..:p....the ending kinda confused me....at first i thought that when all is said and done, this guy was tryin\' to save his mother or somethin\' because he turned into a baby and such,..but after reading the above posts,..now we\'re to believe it\'s a prequel to ICO?...hmmm at this stage i\'m not sure i can do ico, maybe some day, but when i finish a game like shadow, i probably won\'t touch it again for about a year...:p..it\'s a great game, but some of those giants stressed the s**t out of me!...:p
